Sacred Grief Women's Circle

Not everything we grieve is a death. We grieve relationships, dreams, identities, lost time, unmet needs, changing bodies, old versions of ourselves, seasons ending, and lives that didn't turn out quite the way we imagined. And sometimes we move so quickly toward acceptance, gratitude, or “moving on” that we never really let ourselves acknowledge: This mattered. Sacred Grief is a women’s circle for making room for what mattered enough to hurt. Not so we can get rid of our grief, but so we can stop asking it to disappear before we're ready. Together we'll use guided reflection, journaling, small-group sharing, embodied practices, and ritual to explore: What deserves to be grieved? What have I been trying to move past too quickly? What mattered? There is no right way to grieve and no expectation that you share the details of what you're carrying. Participation is invitational, and you're welcome to engage at the level that feels right for you. This gathering is part of The Sacred Series: Rage, Grief, Shame & Freedom. Each circle is a complete standalone experience, so you can attend Sacred Grief even if you didn't attend Sacred Rage. Women who attend multiple circles will experience a deeper thread connecting each gathering. No previous circle experience is necessary. All of you is welcome.
